The artist, Antoine Brasseur,
famous as restorer of old paintings,
died recently at Cologne. He be-
queathed his large and valuable col
lection of paintings, in which many
of the old masters of the Dutch,
Italian and German schools are re-
presented, as we'll as 100000 francs
in money, to his native city of Lille.
Gerry's completed portrait of Mrs.
Cleveland does not meet with APP
proval from the critics. 1t repre-
sents her in black velvet, which is
not becoming as the wine-colored
plush she sometimes wears. The
likeness is not faithful one, and
altogether the picture is not thought
to deserve a permanent place in the
White House gallery Philadel-
phia Bulletin.
What contributes to raise justice
above all other kingly virtues is,
that it is seldom attended with u
due share of applause, and those
who practise it must be influenced
by far greater motives than empty
fame.-Goldsmith.

ANOTHER CR0Wl.

Repairs have recently been effect
ed on King street, near, and and in
the Waikiki direction from, Hawai-
ahao Church. The road was in
worn condition, and badly in need
of mending. The work was not
undertaken before it was urgently
needed. But the money and labor
expended will be of little permanent
benefit to the travelling public. The
depressions have been filled with
dry earth, and the roadway rounded.
Now, if this had been sufficiently
moistened, a little black-sand laid
on the surface, and the whole pack
ed and hardened by thorough roll
ing, with the water courses kept
clear, it would have been a moder-
ately good road for some time to
come. These important essentials
having been omitted, particularly
the wetting and rolling process, the
money expended is little better than
thrown away. The road is already
pulverizing into mass of dust,
which is being carried off by the
wind to build up private properties
to lecward. In a few weeks scarcely
a vestige will remain as a monument
to the mud-head who ordered and
directed that preposterous method
of road-making. What is the use
of spending the public funds in this
way? Why not do things properly?
We are unwillingly forced into this
growl, by the utter stupidity of our
dabbling amateur road-makers.

SOME DISTINGUISHED CASES OF TER
RIBLE APPETITES.

Elizabeth Charlotte, the duchess
of Orleans, writing under date of
December 5, IT'S, says: "The late
king, monsieur the Dauphin, and the
Due de Berri were enormous eaters.
i have often seen the king eat four
plates OF different kinds of soup, a
whole pheasant, dish of salad, two
thick slices OF ham, mutton favored
with garlic, plateful of pastry, and
finish his repast with fruit and hard
boiled eggs" There was good old
German from Wittemberg, where
my Lord Hamlet attended the uni
versity, who had fine faculty for
storing away provender. His case
is well attcstcd. For wager he
would eat whole sheep or u whole
pigs or put out of sight bushel of
cherries, stones and all. He lived
until he was about eighty years of
age, a great portion of the time sup
porting himself by exhibiting the
popularity of his appetite, which, to
say the least, must have been very
eccentric one. Thus, he would chew
glass, earthenware and flint into
small fragments. He had an espe-
cial preference for caterpillars, mice
and birds, and when these were not
procurable he would content himself
with mineral substances. Once he
put down his "maw and gulf" pen,
the ink and the sand pounce and he
would have gobbled the inkstand,
too, had he not been restrained.

Nicholas Wood. OF the county OF

Kent, in England, who was u tolcr-
ably good trcncherman. On one
occasion he got away with whole
sheep; at another time with several
rabbits; at third with three dozen
pigeons--well grown pigeons, not
squads; again with eighteen yards of
black puddings and on two other
occasions sixty pounds of cherries
and three pecks of dawsons. DIR.
COPELAND, in speaking of two children
who had wonderful appotites, the
youngest seven years old being the
worst, said: "Thc quantity of food
devoured by her was astonishing.
Everything that could be laid hold
of, even in its raw state, was seized
upon most greedily. Other articles,
an uncooked rabbit, half a pound of
candles and some butter, were taken
mt one time. The mother stated that
this little girl, who was apparently in
good health otherwise, took more
food if she could possibly obtain it,
than the rest Of her family, consist
ing of six beside herself" A triile
over a hundred years ago London
youth ate five pounds of shoulder of
lamb and two quarts of green peas
in fifty minutes; and II Polish
soldier, who was presented ut the
court of Saxony, succeeded in one
day in getting outside of 90 pounds
of beef and half u roast calf, with the
appropriate "fixings." When George
Ill. was king a watchmaker's APP
prentice, 10 years of age, in three
quarters of an hour, devoured leg
of pork weighing six pounds and a
proportionate quantity Of pease pud-
ding, washing all down with pint
of brandy, taken in two "tots." The
tall Nick Davenport, the actor, is
known to have eaten a seven-pound
turkey ut single sitting. Instances
of depraved appetite are numerous,
and men have been known to swallow
fire, swords, spiders, flies, toads, SER
pents, cotton, hair, paper, wood,
cinders, sand, earth, clay, chalk,
flint, musket balls and carthenware.
One man could swallow billiard balls
and gold watches. In the New York
medical journals for 1882, record
is made of man who could swallow
clasp knives with impunity. One
day he overdid the business by swal-
lowing II and it killed him, which
well it might. In 1870, in England,
two men of Wiltshire wagcred with
each other as to which should con-
sumo the greatest quantity OF food
in the shortest space of time. One
OF them blotted from existence six
pounds and hall of rabbit, Il loaf OF
bread and two pounds of cheese in Il
quarter of an hour, and he was so
pleased with the appreciation he re-
ceived from the bystanders that he
finished off with beefstcal;, u pint
and II hall OF gin and a hail pint Of
brandy Atlanta Constitution.

The immigration to the United States is
much larger than ever, end continues to In
crease. In the ten years from 1871 to 1880,
inclusive, there landed In America 2,Sl2,-
191 immigration. This was larger by
250,OOO than ever came in any previous de-
cede.
In the six years past, since 1881 to 1887,
the number Of immigrants arrived has bsen
$500, 1856, an increase Of nearly 100000
over the ten previous years, II the inflow
continues until 1890 at the1present rate the
number OF immigrantsarrlvlng for the ten
years will be between five and a half aud
six millions.
1t really becomes serious question
whether some legislation will not be re-
quired to restrict the migration to the coun
try Of such immense numbers OF people,
and 1t may be one Of ths problem, which
the legislation Of the nation will have to
ooneider in the near future.

THE Secretary of the Treasury has very
properly declined to decide the question sub
mitted to him as to whether liquors In the
original imported packages can be sold In q
state where the sale Of liquors is prohibited
by state law. There Is no reason why the
Secretary should make decision IN such
cases. He is not judicial officer, and this
is question purely for the courts. Execu-
tive officers are so much In the habit of as
suming both judicial and legislative powers
that we are pleased to chronicle an occa-
sion where one refused to do so, besides
which, the question has already been de-
eided by the highest court Of the country.

A DRUNKEN ENGINEEn
Made His Steamer Cut Capers in Nor
folk Barbor.

to1R nbrDor.
A report has been received by Supervls-
ing Inspector Dumont concerning the
strange antics Of the steamer Old Point
Comfort on the 10th instant In Norfolk har-
Dor. 1t seems that the steamer was max
ing for her dock, but instead OF stopping
and backing at the proper time she contin-
ued on without abating her speed, striking
her dock with considerable force, and,
glancing of, struck a small sloop, the s. 2.
Arthur, injuring but not sinking her. The
steamer kept right on and crushed Into the
sloop Energy, which was lying at the head
OF another dock, sinking her. This arrested
her speed somewhat, but she still kept on
her way and next struck the steamship AL
legheny, Of the Merchants and Miners
line, thirty feet Of which vessel projected
hey ond the slip where she was anchored.
This collision brought the Old Point Com.
fort to etandstill, and stopped her mad
career for the time being.
An investigation by the local inspectors
showed that the series Of accidents were
due to the negligence Of the engineer, Mr..
Greenville Balance, who Is supposed to
have been intoxicated at the time, and who
paid no attention to the bells given by the
master of the vessel, Mr.. George A. Riynor,
who was acquitted Of all blame In the mat
ter. The license Of the engineer has been
suspended for six months. The guard OF
the Old Point Comfort was crushed and
splintered to considerable extent.

ADVOCATES OF CAST STEEL
Invited to Furnish Their Guns to the
Navy Department..

Navy Department.
The advocates Of cast steel as opposed TO
wrought steel "built up" guns are to hcve
an opportunity to sustain their claims Of
superiority. Under authority conferred by
the last Congress the Navy Department
yesterday invited proposals for furnishing
three steel-cast, rough-bored, land turned
6-inch high power rifle cannon, OF domestic
manufactured of Beesemer, one Of
open hearth, and one OF crucible steel.
Proposals may be made either TO furnish
three completely finished cannon, made
from unforged castings, or three unforged,
rough bored, and turned castings for can
non, ,Fto be finished by the department In
accordance with the bidders design.
Such finished guns or such castings must
be In accordance with the specifications
prepared In the bureau Of ordnance, aud
each gun, when completed, must be capa-
BILE of safely discharging projectiles weigh
ing 100 pounds each, with muzzle velocity
OF not less than 1000 feet per second.
No gun or castipg for gun will be paid
for until the gun shall have been completed
and have successfully stood the statutory
| test.
Proposals may be made separately for one
| or more guns or for one or more castings
| but no proposal will be considered unless
accompanied by satisfactory evidence that
the bidder controls plant adequate to the
| production Of the gun or guns, casting.oi
| castings, which he proposes to furnish
| Bids will be received at the department un
til Aug. 2 next, when the proposals will b'
| onaued
